Sat. March 7, seven of us climbed these 2 peaks via the Kinsman Ridge trail starting out at Kinsman Notch. Blustery at the start, it warmed up by noon and the snow turned to mashed potatoes. AT was hard to follow in places because of the depth of the snow and paucity of blazes. Here are some...

:DThis was a listed hike for those who have done all of the NEHH, etc. and are looking for new adventures. Hikerdoc has been leading NHHH winter peaks for the last several years and is now nearing completion of his second round. Ten people showed up at the trailhead; nine to hike and one to...

:DThis was a book bushwack to Mt. Clough 3561' on the first day of winter, Dec. 21. Al & I were co-leaders but in fact there were 4 AMC winter leaders on the trip. Although 10 had signed up, only 7 showed up at the parking lot for Glencliff trail because of the weather. We were suited and...

This a late trip report because we did this trip Friday 28 but took a less traveled route so it might interest someone. The trailhead is a little tricky to find because the stone pillars and chain are hard to see going south from Franconia but it is right where the guidebook says it should be...

:cool: The five of us, Docross, Al, Darrell, and Georg waited at the station in Groveton for Alex who was to meet us at 8am. Most of us had actually been there since about 7:30 because it was a beautiful day and we were excited to get going. It was -6 F when Darrell left his house in Bedford...

:) On saturday 1/12, HikerDoc, Mark, Al, Darrell, Thom, and Marianne went to Stratford to do this whack. Looking at the topo map, the route seemed obvious; but a real maze of meandering logging roads added a small degree of difficulty to the route finding. Near the Spruce/Savage col we...

Marianne and I climbed this peak Sat. from Priscilla Brook Trail. The trail was easy to follow to about 2900', then became confusing because of lack of maintenance. There is an arrow pointing north on a tree, and we crossed a stream there and found no trail. Instead the trail continues...

Six of us bagged this peak on Sat. Dec. 29 in 8"-12" fresh snow. This is an easy bushwack off Cherry Mt. road. If you are careful, you will avoid the steep and icey west summit and stay to the north of the ridge which is open woods. The old Deception trail is still visible on the ridge. We...

We thought the first day of winter deserved something special this year. Stubb Hill 3627', is the most remote of the NHHH to climb. This is because it is located in Pittsburg, a location that some think is part of Canada. :D It is also a long way from any highway. I remember Gene Daniell...

Just out from the 100 mile wilderness in Monson ME, and need to tell the community about Tyvek the ex marine who is hiking the AT barefoot. He has a website called: thelongwalkhome.org. Check it out. He is pretty amazing. When you walk along and see boot prints, occasional moose prints and...

Neighbor Dave (aka Post'rboy) and I decided to do a NH 100 highest trip last weekend. He is working on that list all season and I am working on my second winter round. I suggested we do a clockwise traverse starting at Sawyer Road and finishing at Nancy Pond trail. I checked out Docross's gps...

Roger & I decided to get TFK again because it had been at least 10 years since either of us had been there and I had heard the register was down. Sabbaday Brook trail was a sheet of ice but since it is almost flat we were able to bareboot to the bushwack point at 2700'. The water crossings...

Anyone been around the Sawyer River between Hancock Notch and Sawyer Pond in the last few days? I am planning a trip to Carrigan Pond Peak this weekend which entails a ford of the river. I would like to know about snow bridges and water levels. I am thinking of all the warm weather and rain...

Has anyone been into the Long's this winter from Christine Lake? What route did you use. I am co-leading a group in a couple of weeks and could use any tips. Thanks.

Team Bushwa decided to bag a peak seldom visited in winter. We left Hancock Notch trail just before the first major water crossing on a bearing of 136 degrees. About 2 hours to the summit. 3/4 mile and 1200' elevation so there was some steep to deal with. For the most part we avoided the...

There are all kinds of winter hikers. There are those who like to get out in the woods once in awhile to test themselves against the elements and see the mountains in winter. There are those who set goals such as climbing the 48 highest mountains in NH. This is an admirable accomplishment, a...
